Noble Worldwide Logistics LLC is a licensed U.S. customs broker and FMC-licensed NVOCC based in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a dedicated Latin America gateway office located in Miami, Florida. The company operates under CBP filer code MEL and holds active credentials to manage customs clearance, freight forwarding, and compliance for importers across a wide range of industries.
From its Charlotte headquarters at 421 Penman Street, Noble Worldwide serves importers throughout the Southeast and beyond, offering end-to-end supply chain support that spans ocean freight, air freight, intermodal freight, domestic cartage, and warehousing. Its Miami office at 4680 NW 74th Avenue positions the company as a capable gateway broker for Latin American trade, a region that moves significant cargo volumes through South Florida ports and airports.
On the customs compliance side, Noble Worldwide assists importers with the full scope of CBP entry requirements. This includes Importer Security Filing (ISF) submissions ahead of ocean shipments, HTS code classification to ensure goods are entered under the correct tariff schedule provisions, and preparation of formal and informal customs entries through the CBP ACE portal. For clients managing high-volume or recurring imports, Noble can advise on continuous customs bond requirements and help importers understand their obligations under partner government agency regulations when shipments require review by the FDA, USDA, or other federal bodies.
Noble's NVOCC licensing through the Federal Maritime Commission means the company can issue its own bills of lading and contract directly with ocean carriers — a meaningful advantage for importers seeking consolidated control over their freight and documentation. This capability supports cost efficiency on China-to-USA sea freight lanes, which the company actively serves across major U.S. ports including Los Angeles, Miami, Savannah, New York, Houston, Charleston, and others.
For air freight importers, Noble Worldwide manages time-sensitive clearances with the same compliance rigor applied to ocean entries, including accurate HTS code classification and duty calculation. Importers dealing with Section 321 de minimis shipments or exploring duty drawback program opportunities can also consult with Noble on strategies to reduce landed costs and maintain customs compliance audit readiness.
Noble Worldwide Logistics LLC takes a partnership-oriented approach to client relationships, emphasizing long-term support over one-time transactions. Importers looking for a licensed broker with multimodal freight capabilities, a strong Southeast U.S. presence, and established Latin America and Asia trade lane expertise will find Noble Worldwide a practical choice.
